HelpRe: Miriam Cecilia Mae
in reply to a message by vigdis
Personally I love this combo. It looks good, sounds good, and it seems like the best way for both of you to each use names that you love and honor your husband's grandmother. Plus it has the cherry-on-top of MCM being the Roman numeral 1900.
Personally I don't feel that Mae seems tacked on because I actually like the sound of there being a change in the flow of the name, it goes three syllables, four syllables, one syllable, and then however many syllables your last name is but I don't think that is a bad flow to a name. I like the sound of the flow of this combo no more and no less than if Mae was between Miriam and Cecilia, yes it would then go three, one, four, your surname which is more evened out but I like the surge and dip of sound that happens with a less uniform combo.
Some people say they prefer Miriam Cecily Mae because it is less of a mouth full probably because Cecily is only three syllables not four. Personally I like Miriam Cecily Mae and Miriam Cecilia Mae equally, but I think that your husband probably likes Cecilia not Cecily so I think you should go with whatever name that he likes. I think it is important that since this might be the only child that you two will have that you both get to use a name that you love and of course honor grandma Mae, so I think using two middle names is a great solution.
Also I feel that Mae doesn't seem like a filler when there is another mn to go with it, Mae on it's own as a mn is fairly boring and seems like filler but something else with Mae spices things up while still having that nice short one syllable sound of Mae in the middle.
So in conclusion I love this combo, and I know that whatever combo you two choose will be great whether it is this one or something else.
